Dim Don loses 2 potential Veeps, Corker and Ernst, following his praise of Saddam Hussein! (Original Post) MoonRiver Jul 2016 OP

Good, imagine Sarah Palin with military experience and brains, as well as a pledge to destroy the epa and department of education.

Senator Ernst would have been a formidable choice. I guess she's too smart to ruin her budding political career by hitching her wagon to Donald Trump.

Nobody wants to be part of a losing ticket. Plus, the dimwit is hated by most of the major Rethug players. Smart Repubs, with other options, don't want anything to do with the clod.

They can derail this dunce, IF they choose to do so. But they are also Repukes, so other matters, like making a financial killing on the backs of Americans, may factor in. I JDK.
